Good job. You have earned a spot on the AO team for sure. Tom will be very happy you did this.

So...just curious here... on a physics level... if it did fail... how bad could it be? I mean... if it was aired up it would be in body... I guess I am just curious if the explosive force would be enough to overcome the structural integrity of the body?

I know the typical operating pressure/input is 800PSI... but obviously if you reduce surface area PSI increases... so does the PSI go above the operating pressure/input at different parts of the valve?

i think this is worthy of some techie speculation... i dont know but i was starting to think worst cast scenario is literally everything in my hand, my tank my hopper and my goggles would all blow up

It's a titanium valve and they're all after your lucky charms! Run for the hills!

Nah jk.

i realized shortly after i dropped it that i missed a once in a lifetime chance to take a picture of it hitting the water......... 59297-terminator2_576pyxurz.jpg ... this is probably what it would have looked like tho

I'd be worried more about schrapnel of some sort...created by the weakening of the metal from welding it. It doesnt look like they checked it for 3000psi when they were done.

i have a feeling someones gonna try to call me out on age

I have a new hero, although I didnt find out his name.

I did find out that he is 73 and was playing paintball today with the rest of the cool kids.

Felt good to not be the oldest kid at the field for a change, finally !

That is exactly what I was wondering about with my thoughts of the body failing... basically... would the body contain the explosive force or fail also FURTHER adding the the shrapnel from the valve... scary to thing about...
